His recipes, even when they're luxurious, feel down-home and simple, and I know from doing a few of them that they're of course very delicious as well.

I'm currently waiting for this to complete in the oven. I have nothing but confidence, because the sauce/broth is SO DELICIOUS. The trickiest part of this recipe is to get the right quantity and consistency of the fluid. You're best off overdoing the fluidity, because you can always just put less in the ramekin/pie pan. Getting the flavor right is the no-brainer part of this recipe...add the ingredients in roughly the recommended portions, and you can't lose. Thanks, Chef John, for a very very Merry post-Christmas!

Just made this tonight, turned out spectacular. I thickened the sauce up a little more than chef john does and added a bit more salt than I had anticipated. I simmered till the sauce was the right consistency then added the lobster, simmering just enough till I could tell the lobster was cooked through and then took it off the heat. I pre-baked the puff pastry and added it on top of the filled ramekins. Not needing any extra baking so as not to overcook the lobster. I feel like this gives you better control over the thickness of the chowder and the doneness of the lobster.

Made this for dinner tonight. I used Better Than Bullion, chicken, rather than clam juice or chicken broth. I did not consider this would result in a slightly more salty flavor. It was easy to make. It is a lovely dish to serve and probably cost about $6.50 a piece--each ramekin. It's a nice gift for your family, friends or just yourself. We probably do one of Chef John's recipes a month.

The lobster pot pies look good and any guest will be SUPER impressed that you thought enough of them to make them a lobster dish. So funny that, in past centuries, lobster was considered a poor man’s food. Now, you have to take out a second mortgage if you want to have it regularly.

I live in MD and blue crabs have a similar story. Crabs were considered a "trash" crustacean and were used primarily to feed prisoners, servants, and slaves. In fact, there's an old law on the books in this region that forbids masters from feeding their slaves and servants crab more than a few times a week (I think it is a max of 3x per week).

A timely recipe for me. My girlfriend & I have a long standing tradition that once everything is organised & settled on Christmas eve we make sure we have time to ourselves & have a romantic late supper of shellfish. Usually langoustines, but large prawns/shrimp or lobster can be there too. Even if we're in separate countries we get them in & eat them together by video link. So a lobster pot pie sounds an interesting addition to our Christmas even menu, thank you. I know some folks don't like the dribbles down the side of a ramekin or pie dish, but I like them. It hints at the unctuous, bubbling contents underneath the pastry... it invites me in. Think the only time I don't want dribbles is if making a pithivier or something like a British pork pie. Hope you & your wife have a lovely Christmas. I imagine you both set a lovely table for it.

As you were making this, I was thinking of how to adapt it for a crab pot pie appetizer. Have most of the ingredients, including puff pastry in the fridge/freezer... Madeira instead of sherry ('cause that's what I've got) and substituting sweet bell pepper for the carrots. And maybe trading a pinch of Old Bay for the paprika. Thank you, thank you!

Fond literally translates to bottom from French, but has come to mean the food that gets stuck to the bottom. I'm only saying this for the context of what I'm about to say next and not because I would presume you don't already know. Fond du bord would be "fond from the sides" but bord du fond would be "sides of the bottom". I'm not sure which would apply here because it depends if we're using the proper french meaning of "bottom" or the cooking term of "fond".

My parents are from P.E.I Canada, which is back east. One time my grandmother sent us 50 Atlantic lobsters (which are far better than Pacific lobsters), and we fed the shells to our chickens. Then their eggs had supper dark yolks and also actually tasted like lobster. Lobster flavoured eggs... LoL That also really shows that the taste of chicken eggs is definitely affected by what they are fed. Also, in P.E.I. fast food places, like McDonald's, actually serve lobster burgers. Every time I go to P.E.I. I always try to come back with lobsters, and if I go during a time outside lobster season, then I at least try to bring back cans of lobster. In P.E.I. you can get these big cans of lobster, but they aren't like regular canned stuff, because they actually have to stay frozen or they spoil. Because of that they actually taste very much like fresh cooked lobster, instead of what canned stuff usually tastes like. They are also far, far cheaper than any kinds of Atlantic lobster I can get where I live on the west coast (B.C. Canada).

Like idea of setting pie in ring of fluffy white rice, to soak up sauce. Could replace potato with parsnip or baked butternut squash from freezor (save time). Honey nut squash is nice garden growing variety, small size. Rosemary olive oil toasted baguette or croutons good too. Been looking to move to Nova Scotia and near its south tip they have lobster fishing processing. Digby NS is known for scallops. Love shrimp today, but could become a lobster scallop fan easy.
